Disney has purchased George Lucas’ LucasFilm LTD for $4.05 billion, the two companies announced on Tuesday, combined with the promised release of Star Wars: Episode VII for a planned release in 2015.

Disney will pay half of that sum in cash and the other half in stock, based on Disney’s stock price at market close Tuesday.

On news that Disney Studios has purchased Lucasfilm and is planning to release a new episode of Star Wars, the Internet lost its collective mind.

A geeky couple has become internet famous after the pair started snapping a collection of rather hilarious Star Wars themed photographs. How can you not enjoy looking at AT-AT walkers in their natural habitat?
